Daniel Cruz

Dr. Daniel Cruz is a Researcher in the Interface Science Department at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society in Berlin, Germany. He is affiliated with the Roldan research group (ISC-AG-Roldan) and utilizes advanced facilities including the Bessy-II synchrotron radiation source (beamline 2.13) for his experimental work.

His research focuses on atomic-scale analysis of material interfaces, with primary interests in catalytic processes, surface reactivity, and electrochemical systems. The work employs synchrotron-based spectroscopy and diffraction techniques to investigate energy conversion mechanisms and novel materials development, particularly relevant to sustainable chemistry applications.

Based at the institute's headquarters (Faradayweg 4-6, 14195 Berlin), Dr. Cruz contributes to the department's mission of fundamental research at the intersection of chemistry, physics, and materials engineering through experimental investigations of solid-liquid and solid-gas interfaces.
